Abstract
An approach has been developed for organizing massive calculations of the maps of a molecular surface of helical proteins and nucleic acids in the distributed computing media. Three new program codes SURFACE-2008-compact, PROT-Zcompact and DNA-RNA-Zcompact that represent modified Linux versions of codes SURFACE-2008, PROT-Z and DNA-RNA-Z were elaborated to calculate the surface maps of the helical protein molecules and the helical DNA-RNA molecules. In order to organize massive computing of a large set of molecules, the graphical interface and the input of control parameters in a dialog mode are eliminated from the SURFACE-2008, PROT-Z and DNA-RNA-Z codes. To input the control parameters and to run codes SURFACE-2008-compact, PROT-Zcompact and DNA-RNA-Zcompact, a special script-program has been implemented. For graphical presentation and further analysis of the maps obtained in such a way corresponding full versions of codes SURFACE-2008, PROT-Z and DNA-RNA-Z are used. The investigation has been supported by a grant of the RFBR 07-07-234.
